Escape from New York (1981)

This is a Movie Health Community evaluation. It is intended to inform people of potential health hazards in movies and does not reflect the quality of the film itself. The information presented here has not been reviewed by any medical professionals.

Escape from New York has some use of machine guns. One scene using them near the end has a strobe effect, but for the rest of the movie, they have a more realistic muzzle flash than the strobe-type ones one would normally see in a movie, where the moments between the flashes are imperceptible by the human eye.

A few scenes take place at extreme heights, including in aircraft. All of the camera work in this film is very smooth.

Flashing Lights: 2/10. Motion Sickness: 2/10.

TRIGGER WARNING: The protagonist witnesses what is likely about to turn into a sexual assault, and just moves along.

Roddy è un topo domestico che vive una vita agiata, grazie ai suoi padroni umani, ma un giorno la sua quotidianità viene rotta da Sid, un topo di fogna…

On this date in 1972, "The Ruling Class" was released. The film tells the story of a paranoid schizophrenic British nobleman (played by Peter O'Toole) who inherits a peerage.

O'Toole held the rights to Barnes's play upon which the film is based; director Peter Medak approached O'Toole repeatedly about exercising those rights. According to Medak, the project got started one night that he and O'Toole were returning from the theatre, which "meant stopping at every pub between Soho and Hampstead, and it didn't matter if it was after closing hour because he would knock on the door and just say 'Peter's here,' and every door opened for him". Later on, at O'Toole's apartment, the deeply inebriated actor phoned his manager and said, "I'm with the crazy Hungarian and I know I'm drunk but I give you 24 hours to set this movie up." The next day, Medak received a call from United Artists and a deal was put together to shoot "The Ruling Class".

Alastair Sim cast himself in the role as the Bishop, according to the commentary on the DVD. He called up his friend O'Toole and told him, out of the blue, of course he'd help him by taking the part. No one was about to turn down the offer of such a great character actor, no matter how eccentric.

Film critic Jay Cocks in Time Magazine: " All actors can play insanity; few play it well. O'Toole begins where other actors stop, with the unfocused gaze, the abrupt bursts of frenzied high spirits and precipitous depressions. Funny, disturbing, finally devastating, O'Toole finds his way into the workings of madness, revealing the anger and consuming anguish at the source."

Despite mixed critical reaction to the film, O'Toole's performance was universally praised and garnered numerous prestigious awards and prizes, including an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. Reportedly, when United Artists, its North American distributor, told producer Jules Buck that it would be cutting the film extensively for US release, Buck reportedly punched the company's London representative and bought the film back. Avco Embassy then bought the distribution rights and cut the film's 154-minute running time by six minutes.

The film cost around $1.4 million to produce, with O'Toole reportedly working for free (he was instead paid a great deal for the big-budget "Man of La Mancha", released by the same studio later the same year). O'Toole described the film as "a comedy with tragic relief." (IMDb/Wikipedia).

* MURDER BY DECREE / ENGLISH / 2H 4M / 1979

— Christopher Plummer as Sherlock Holmes and James Mason as John Watson. — Directed by Bob Clark and distributed by AVCO Embassy Pictures and Ambassador Film Distributors. — Favorite Quality: These actors did a fantastic job at recreating the characters and their relationships.

I am beginning to understand that I prefer older/elderly Sherlock and John over all other iterations of the pair; I find them far more enjoyable than younger interpretations. This movie delivered on that so much that I nearly burst into tears when I first saw them appear; they’re just two old gentlemen teasing each other about the royal family at the theater. Murder by Decree was another movie based on the concept of Sherlock Holmes solving the case of Jack the Ripper, but I couldn’t quite figure out what was happening until the end—even then, I don’t think the plot was the best part of this movie. It was certainly better than a Study in Terror, and I enjoyed the reveal of the killer, it was not the climax, and it made me very emotional. I think it could have done better with the concept, but I did not expect the turns or plot twists, and I feel like I would gain an even greater appreciation for this movie if I were to watch it again (which I will be doing). While I do show a bias towards the actors who play Sherlock in television series, I want to express how incredible Christopher Plummer was for this character; and how fondly I will think of him in this movie, he was just so good. It may also be that Christopher and James had phenomenal on-screen chemistry; it felt like they were dear and loving friends. I loved watching them interact; I didn’t care about the mystery; I cared about how enjoyable it was to watch these two try and solve it together. When watching these movies and shows, I take notes as my memory is faulty, and I try to take note of what’s happening, how it sounds, and what it looks like, but the page I have just talks about how much I enjoyed the characters. Well, that and how hilarious the predator vision sequences were, like Jack was an 80s alien on board a spaceship. If I can give this movie another compliment, it was how alive most of the scenes in London felt and how crowded it seemed to be even without a large crowd of extras. When it comes to older movies, I feel like there’s a certain level of realism that modern movies lose, and I can’t figure out if it’s because the scenes are different or the cameras. Aesthetically it was not incredible, but sometimes it felt like I could step onto the streets of Victorian London, and that’s always a fantastic way to get invested in a story. Murder by Decree is not a movie I think you should watch for the plot, but one watched for how charming the characters were; well, that, and the cute pea scene. I love the pea scene.

[ad_1] Cowl Artwork by MGM, Property: AVCO Embassy Photos The “Scream VI” and “Prepared or Not” crew of Radio Silence, aka administrators Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, have revealed they're now not concerned within the upcoming new “Escape from New York” movie. John Carpenter’s traditional 1981 dystopian characteristic was set in a future the place the U.S. had turn into a totalitarian theocratic police state and the island of Manhattan is now a walled-off most safety jail. Imprisoned former Particular Forces officer Robert ‘Snake’ Plissken (Kurt Russell) has twenty-four hours to go in, rescue the U.S. President who's being held by town jail’s most harmful criminal, and get out once more. Radio Silence was hooked up to the mission, an element reboot/half sequel, round a year-and-a-half in the past. Now, out selling the digital launch of “Abigail,” they inform ComicBook.com they’re out: “We're not (hooked up), sadly. I feel titles like that bounce round for some time and I feel they’ve tried to get that out of the blocks a number of occasions. I feel it’s simply in the end a tough rights challenge factor. There’s a clock on it and we simply weren’t able to make the clock, in the end. However who is aware of? I feel, in hindsight, it feels loopy that we might assume we might, post-Scream, step right into a John Carpenter franchise. You by no means know. There’s nonetheless curiosity in it, and we’ve had a number of conversations about it, however we’re not hooked up in any official capability.” Leigh Whannell, Robert Rodriguez, and “Luther” creator Neil Cross had been all hooked up to prior incarnations of the mission.
